Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I am "fluent" in generic North American English, South-East "Southerner" American, and North-East Italian-American.

I can also do immitations of British (London to Lancashire), French, Italian, Eastern-European, Irish, and beyond.

I have extensive training in Italian, French, Spanish, English, and German diction, as they a requirement for completion of my degrees in Vocal Performance.

I can read everything from serious scripts to immitations and improvised character voices, and have an excellent prompt voice.

My Voice Experience

I have mostly focused on my opera carreer up to this point, but my training in voice, diction, and acting have prepared me to make voice-over work a natural direction for me to move towards.

As an opera singer, I am frequently in a position of being a public speaker, and as character actress.

I am also a voice teacher, and have spent the past ten years focused entirely on the production and articulation of the human voice.
